Noose picture was in poor taste

Published:

By Bob Wolff Santa Monica

I would have thought with all the recent publicity about nooses and their symbolism to African-Americans that your paper would not put a picture on the front page where the central image is a noose hanging from a ficus tree (“Death takes a holiday,” Nov. 1).

This has nothing to do with the celebration of “Dia de los Muertos.”

An apology is in order.
